lyrics

A bird watching perched and still
Black against the milky dawn
Held by branches ever growing
Ever letting leaves to fall
Makes me think of all the mothers
All the fathers who’ve come before
Their spirits held in the soil

As you my baby bird
Open your eyes
The sky yawns itself awake
A brand new day thrown out and caught
By your little beating heart
Bringing up the sun with song.

It hasn’t come easy
I’ve spent so much time on my knees
Ovaries begging to release this life in me.
And I’ve known fear too well and it’s don’t move claws
The way it creeps around
Locking all the windows and doors.

But my heart rattles the walls
Rattles the walls
Don’t you keep me in here anymore
You were built for the open sky
It’s not for you to question why
Just fly
